Hi Nadine Carroll; Re the Afghans; Here's an article which suggests that the Afghans are all fought out, and that it's foreigners that are fighting for the Taliban in Afghanistan:

With many Afghans disillusioned by the relentless combat, the local pool of warriors has run low, increasing the Taliban's dependence on foreign fighters - euphemistically called "guests."

If this is true, we could get a situation where we're welcomed as liberators into Kabul. God, I hope they keep the collateral damage down.
